Carol Sheilds
I have been involved with Belgian Malinois since 1998, acquiring my first dog, UCD Tresbecc
Veagas Lights CD, NAP, NJP as an obedience prospect. During the first 3 years of owning
Veagas, my husband and I were given a finished champion bitch named Ch Tresbecc Mo’
Than Enough. That is when I was first introduced to the world of Conformation Showing.
Belle was a wonderful teacher and in 2001 I campaigned her to the number 2 Malinois Bitch
in the country, getting her to the first Eukanuba Invitational.
As time moved forward I began to show on a more frequent basis and to date have finished
to their Championship 6 of dogs we either own or bred. Shown only by me, my first home-
bred, Ch. Tresbecc Phantom Image CD, RA, ATTs HSAs,HTD1, began his show career at
the age of 6 months and was an undefeated champion one month later.
Our dogs compete under the kennel name of “CF Phantom” not only in Conformation, but
also have successful achievements in Herding, Obedience and Agility.
I have taught show handling for approximately 5 years and have had the honor to judge “All
Breed Matches” for the Monmouth County Kennel Club, Twin Brooks Kennel Club and the
Empire Alaskan Malamute Club. In 2009 I will be judging the Sweepstake entry for the
Berkshire Belgian Tervuren Specialty.
My students have been successful showing and handling their own dogs and most recently
one has garnered the most sort after title, that of “Best in Show”

Renee Shriver
During Renee’s childhood she spent a lot of time around dog training and dog shows with
her family so it is no wonder that as an adult when reintroduced to dog training she fell in
love with it. Renee trains her dogs in obedience, rally, agility, pet therapy, canine musical
freestyle, herding, lure coursing, Nose Work and tricks.
When she started training her first canine partner to dance it soon became obvious that
dancing with two left feet is possible.
Renee has three dogs currently certified with Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs. In the past 11
years
she and her dogs have spent well over 1,000 hours making visits to schools, Girl Scout
troops, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, teaching dog etiquette to children, giving
demonstrations and more. She teaches her dog’s tricks and canine musical freestyle to
enhance their therapy visits.
Renee has also worked with rescue groups and has done fostering to help dogs along the
road to recovery in order for them to learn to be good family members so that they could go
on to their forever homes. Currently she is associated with Collie Rescue of Northern NJ.
Currently she teaches pet obedience, agility, canine freestyle, rally and tricks classes.
Renee gives private lessons and on a limited basis does in home training. Renée has
helped teach hundreds of dogs to perform the job of pet therapist. Renee is an evaluator for
AKC’s Canine Good Citizen & Star Puppy programs and is a member of APDT.

Angel -- Rough Collie 1997-2008 CGC
Angel and Renee took their first obedience class just for fun. She was a star pupil in
obedience classes but it was while doing Pet Therapy that Angel truly shined. She loved to
make visits to schools and nursing homes.
Rachel Stintzcum
Rachel Stintzcum has had dogs all of her life, jokingly calling them ‘pre-owned dogs’ as most
had previously lived with other people before they came to her. She has spent a lifetime
studying them. Often, a pre-owned dog comes with special needs and Rachel was willing to
work with these dogs to help them succeed in a family environment.
Rachel attended St. Francis University, majoring in psychology while also taking many
courses regarding animal behavior and how the minds of animals work. As her work/study
program, she had the unique opportunity to work with rats and pigeons using positive
reinforcement, and doing behavioral and data analysis. Her education in psychology gives
her insight into the dynamics between dogs and their handlers.
Though Rachel has a love for all animals, dog training holds the greatest fascination for her.
In 2008, she became an apprentice trainer and has continued to broaden her education and
hands on skills. Presently, she is a trainer at Clever K9, teaching Puppy Kindergarten,
Beginner Obedience and Canine Good Citizen/Therapy Dog classes. She is also certified
to test for the Puppy Star and CGC qualifications. Rachel also co-teaches Canine Musical
Freestyle classes to an ever increasing number of students. Rachel co-founded Prancing
Paws Freestyle Club of NJ and choreographs the club’s group routines as well as many of
the individual team routines.
Rachel shares her home with three dogs:
Holly is a Border Collie rescue that was feral when she arrived. First thought to be a victim of
abuse, it became obvious that Holly had just never been handled by humans. At age 10, she
is a lively, sweet girl who loves to play ball with anyone walking by and will shove her tennis
ball under the fence as an invitation to play. She acquires many willing playmates this way!
Samwise, a 4 year old Golden Retriever, is the family clown and is much loved by everyone
who meets him. He pretends to be nothing but a big happy guy, but has been known to
pretend to play with a toy to get the other dogs to come and get it so that he gets all of the
human attention and affection. He has his CGC.
Frazier is an Australian Shepherd and is Rachel’s working dog, running partner and
companion. He has not only titled in Canine Musical Freestyle but has recently started
trialing in agility and is taking nose work classes. Frazier has also tried his paw at sheep
herding and has his CGC.
Rachel Stintzcum has spent all of her life as an instructor, teaching all levels of students from
kindergarten to college level and beyond. Branching out into dog training has been a dream
come true for Rachel as it combines her love of teaching and her love of working with animals
